Representing Victims of Dog Bites

Richmond Injury Lawyers Providing Zealous Counsel

In most cases, dogs are known to be kind and loving animals that provide
great support and companionship for humans. However, they are still instinctual
animals that can respond rapidly and violently to the surrounding environment,
including the people in it. Furthermore, an owner can be negligent in
providing their dog with the proper vaccinations to protect the spreading
of disease to humans. This can lead to a dog bite that not only causes
momentary pain and shock, but also
serious injuries and medical problems that carry lasting financial and emotional consequences.

Do I Really Need a Lawyer for my Dog Bite?

Yes. Less than 1% of dog bite victims are compensated for their injuries.
That means that out of 4.7 million dog bites a year, insurance companies
pay only 15,000 victims. Here's something else to consider; if you
do take legal action after a dog bite, an attorney can yield significantly
higher payouts from insurance companies than if you were to deal with
them on your own. Many times an insurer will only pay 10-20% of what the
victim is owed and keep the rest for themselves. Halperin Law Center makes
sure that this doesn't happen. When you hire us, we deal directly
with the insurance company to ensure that you receive the amount owed.
